    Hello all,

    I was having an nostalgia trip and remembered that usenet existed.

    Surprised to see this is one of not all that many newsgroups that is
    still alive and active. Well done!

    I don't know if I ever posted here in the olden days, but I was around
    (maybe in the way) in the IRC channel of old, which definitely doesn't
    exist now...

    Oh probably something boring like "petern" -- it was long ago.

    I like that thinking.
